Yet, the change marks a slight concession from the version of the\r\nCollective Agreement Act amendments approved by the committee on February 13,\r\nwhich allowed the parties to cancel with just three months' notice, but is\r\nnowhere near the two years that the nions had demanded. Under the law, a\r\ncollective agreement becomes indefinite by default when it expires. But whereas\r\nthe current law makes the terms of the agreement binding after that time, the\r\namended version allows an employer to cancel the contract. On 18 February,\r\nseveral thousand workers on a union rally in Tallinn gathered to protest the\r\nplanned changes to the law, which union leaders say are being rushed through without\r\ntheir input.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fnews.err.ee\u002Fpolitics\u002F619ee017-b510-42cc-81b5-0d346dcaf7e1\">http:\u002F\u002Fnews.err.ee\u002Fpolitics\u002F619ee017-b510-42cc-81b5-0d346dcaf7e1\u003C\u002Fa> \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fnews.err.ee\u002Fpolitics\u002F61cce4da-ee2d-4a76-a9e3-03968caff6d8\">\u003Cbr\u002F>http:\u002F\u002Fnews.err.ee\u002Fpolitics\u002F61cce4da-ee2d-4a76-a9e3-03968caff6d8\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cem>This\r\narticle was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
